Ian Hudghton (Greens/EFA) ‒ This report correctly highlights the fact that the fishing industry is hugely varied throughout the EU. Whilst the new CFP does well in underlining the importance of small-scale fishing, it is important that the necessary definitions are now dictated from the centre. The rapporteur took these points on board and I was able to support her report.
